There is a controversy and discussion going around about her songs latest video for the ‘Rude Boy’, which depicted an awful and unpleasant lot of boys who look like M.I.A’s, but the videos director Melina Matsoukas does not believe that there is some obvious and noticeable difference during the shoot of the video.
Rihanna - Rude Boy (Music Video)
M.I.A. - Boyz (Music Video)
In response to this Rihanna explained that the video is depicting the lot of Rasta culture and 80’s Atari vibe and this all what the video is about. Later on, she felt that the director actually tore her video and she was shocked about it. This video was not to rip off anyone’s image at all, but the director actually applied an animation approach with a similar vibe. Before this, Andy Warhol and Grace Jones did the same thing, therefore, I do not think that anyone could lay claim to anything. Similar and alike elements inspire everyone, and it comes together all the way. This is what everyone is calling it, ‘The Inspiration’, but it actually was blatant, deliberate, and obvious copying not inspiration, brainwave, influence, and insight. People just hated off the music video director saying that he merely ripped off the M.I.A’s and sucked big time. There are still no talk made by the M.I.A’s on it, everyone is still wondering what they have to say about all this.

March 22nd, 2010Heard on the grapevine that Rihanna is supposed to be the star in the remake of the Last Dragon. She’s going to play the part of Laura Charles. Word on the rumor mill is also that Rihanna is thinking about the role of an angel in the Drew-Barrymore produced Charlie’s Angels, which is making a comeback for a 3rd installment.

March 7th, 2010Everyday when I wake up I listen to Rihanna and it makes me happy. Rihanna dresses like no-one else. Girl can really pick the best looking clothes for her! Rihanna is a lady who behaves really well.. seriously I saw her in public with my own eyes. Some people hate her but I think they are just jealous because she is hot and gifted. What a beautiful and sensuous human being.. wish her all the best in life!
